The amount of comments i've seen under byler videos like "the show is over why are you guys still here?" just shows everything i need to know about this fandom. It's the losers and nerds who keep fandoms alive after everything is over. It's the people who are constantly laughed at by the ga and by the creators who continue buying merch, making edits, fanarts. We keep hawkins alive by writing stories, we keep the characters alive by making art. The fact that we still care and the fact that we're still here even after being so hated by everybody just proves that we are the people who love this show the most. It's proof that we were never here because we wanted to "see two boys kiss" and we were never here because we have "fetishes". So keep nerding out and being weird because that's exactly what stranger things was originally made for!!!

Does the ga understand how love triangles work? When two characters are attracted to the same person, it causes two main ships to form. Every fan chooses their "side" and roots for their favourite ship. It's a natural fucking thing. Yet when it comes to byler suddenly i have no right to ship Will with a boy he's canonically in love with? Right, right...

I'm sorry did Noah even know beforehand that they were doing this entire "i like that d" bit and making fun of Will's coming out scene on SNL? I genuinely would've thought it's funny if it was Noah mocking that scene, but this?.. And don't even get me started on that "joke" about Max acting like she's still in a coma. SNL has been tone deaf and disgusting for a long time now, i don't know why i expected something different this time.

I can't believe we've been analyzing the subtext of the music in the show for YEARS. The lyrics, the cultural influence, how it applies to the show and to the character. We did it ALL. And now they decided to play purple rain in the m*leven scene "because her favourite color is purple and they met in the rain🤪🤪🥺🥺👻". I can't help but feel like we were the ones who made this show seem deep and complex by our thorough analysis of literally every detail in the show. They didn't do shit.

I can't wait for the "finn wolfhard reads a fan letter" video because i genuinely have no idea what anybody could admire about post season 2 mike. He's just hootin and hollerin

I don't think milkvans understand why exactly it breaks our little byler hearts that mike couldn't tell jane he loved her in the void. Nobody would pay attention to that in a jancy, lumax, jopper scene, because their love for each other was never questioned in the show. Meanwhile mike's ENTIRE character arc in season 4 (and partially in season 3) was about him NOT being able to tell jane he loved her. It would have been such an amazing addition to the void scene if he said "i love you too" because the audience would know how much those words meant to mike. Oh and don't forget that in the epilogue mike hugs karen and tells her "i love you" just fine. So i really don't understand what their intention was with mike. I don't think anybody does.

Just 2 days ago everybody in the ga was like "the ending was fine yall are just pissed that byler didn't happen" and now all of those people have been converted into conformitygate truthers. At this point i don't even care if conformitygate is real or not, at least i saw this hillarious switch up happen right in front of my eyes. Straight people are fun sometimes.

I think about this so often because what was the point of that exchange between robin and mike where mike mentions his love for butthole surfers? Genuinely what was the reason if not the queer subtext? Like it HAD to be between mike and a canonically lesbian character and his fav band HAD to be called the butthole surfers. Right..

If you told me 5 years ago that future me was gonna go on letterboxd, give the stranger things finale half a star and leave a review that says "fuck this show", i would have never believed you. It's insane how something i loved so deeply for years is now making me physically sick. Like i genuinely wish i had never touched this fucking show.

Youtube just reccomended Noah's audition tape for The Goldfinch and i genuinely started tweaking. We could've had it all.
